About the Game



KnightLight is a 2D puzzle platformer where you light your own way through the darkness.

You play as the Light, exploring a seemingly abandoned civilization where you find a suit of armor that seems to have some magical properties.

Suit up, using the powers of the suit to channel your own light magic to see what (or who) else this strange and beautiful place is hiding.

Use the suit to protect you from the dangers of this world, and get out of it when you need to be nimble!

It seems that you aren't the only one here, explore to find others who may tell you their stories, as well as the lost signifliers, magic balls of light that seem to take a liking to you.

Once you have explored the world to its fullest, activate the speedrun timer to test your knowledge of the world and see how fast you can make it through!



  • Explore an abandoned world
  • Channel your magic to unlock new abilities
  • Find all of lost signifliers
  • Race through the game to improve your speedrun time
